Marseille vs Angers prediction: Les Olympiens for the win
Key stats
- Marseille are on a two-game losing streak across all competitions.
- OM have a 100% win record at home this season, winning five straight at the Velodrome.
- Angers have scored three goals in their last five outings.
- Les Scoistes are undefeated in two successive Ligue 1 fixtures (W1, D1).
Correct score prediction: Marseille 3-1 Angers
Benjamin Pavard’s unfortunate own goal summed up Marseille’s 2-1 defeat at Lens – their second consecutive defeat, after a similar 2-1 loss to Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League. Roberto De Zerbi’s men will be delighted to return to home turf, where they’ve won each of their last five games across all competitions.
The story is quite different for Angers, who linger in 15th position. Les Scoistes have collected nine points from as many Ligue 1 fixtures, scoring a joint-low six league goals this campaign.
Alexander Dujeux will be desperate to see his side upset OM, but the hosts’ superior quality should prove damaging for the visitors, who are in line to taste their fifth loss of the season.
Pre-game odds and win probability: OM the overwhelming favourites
- HOME: 2/9 (1.22) – 81.9%
- DRAW: 5/1 (6.00) – 16.6%
- AWAY: 12/1 (13.00) – 7.6%
